Business Details
We specialize in dogmanship training that focuses on the human-dog relationship dynamic rather than quick fixes or trendy training methods. We have extensive experience working with dog owners to help them understand how their own movement, habits, and emotions directly impact their dog's behavior and training outcomes. We reject the common focus on performance-based, results-only training and instead teach owners to read their dog's natural, honest communication cues. We prioritize long-term relationship building over temporary behavior fixes that fail to address the root causes of canine behavior issues. Our approach is rooted in the core principle that clarity, trust, and respect form the unshakable foundation of a strong, fulfilling human-dog bond. We hold ourselves to the highest standards of transparent, ethical training that avoids shame, fluff, or unproven, gimmicky methods.
We provide concrete, actionable guidance that owners can apply in real-life situations to see measurable, lasting progress with their dogs. We are committed to helping owners move beyond reactionary, emotion-driven training and develop intentional, consistent presence with their canine companions. Our methods are proven to build lasting trust between dogs and their owners by focusing on movement and follow-through as core, consistent communication tools. We offer a range of accessible resources including live weekly sessions, an educational foundational eBook, and a community Patreon library to meet owners where they are in their training journey. We are dedicated to empowering every dog owner to build a clear, respectful, and trusting relationship with their canine companion, no matter their prior training experience.

House of Dog
House of Dog is a Patreon community offering unedited, real dog training session breakdowns to show authentic progress without curated highlight reels.

Foundational Dog eBook
The foundational dog training eBook outlines core dogmanship principles and explains why human-centric, consistency-focused training outperforms trendy methods and tools. This resource is for dog owners frustrated with inconsistent results from internet advice and performance-based training.

Chris is a bully and has a problem dealing with determined women. I wanted to dog train more than anything else. Drove over an hour to get there. I was an idealistic student and believed every word. Then one day he just turned mean and hateful, putting me through something I would never have taken for anyone else. I quit but remained wistful. He is a gifted trainer but evil. Stay away if you can. Amy Beckwith

Amazing trainer with over 30 years of experience. He does several seminars during the year. He helps you learn how the dog thinks. Many trainers consult with him whenever they have trouble. If he can't rehabilitate a dog, no one can.

Just finished a weekend seminar with Chris and Dylan. I am still processing everything I learned about myself, my dogs and how I can apply this to our rescue dogs. Chris is incredibly smart, funny & reads dogs better than anyone I have ever met. Dylan is an amazing handler & trainer. He is so talented! I can not wait until the next opportunity I have to learn more from both of them. I wish I could clone them & keep them here in Minnesota. I have so much respect for these guys and am so thankful I had the opportunity to learn from them.

I just spent an entire day watching the owner train multiple dogs. A no point did I see any indication that he would condone abuse of an animal, as another reviewer commented. In fact, I was very impressed with his knowledge and skill with dogs, which ranged from timid to bold and assertive. There are many trainers out there who are not delivering on their promises, but the trainers at Canine Solutions are on a completely different level of expertise. If you're tired of luring your dog around with a cookie and getting no where, or you have a dog that no one can seem to help, then go to Canine Solutions and learn the real way to train your dog.
